West Ham United vs Tottenham Hotspur
West Ham welcome Spurs for this weekend’s Premier League opener, in a game which really could go either way.
Spurs are heavily fancied, on betting websites, to win this one; but betting odds don’t always tell the full story. The Hammers won this fixture 1-0, last May, and Spurs were hot favourites then, too.
Harry Kane has started scoring now that August is just a memory, but Dele Alli has been strangely subdued and Spurs suffered yet more Wembley jitters, drawing last week with Swansea. 26 shots are no good if you still draw a blank. The Champions League hopefuls have only scored seven goals so far, and when you compare that with both Manchester teams bagging 16 already, they are off the pace.
And it may not be the best time for Mauricio Pochettino’s men to visit the East End as Slaven Bilic’s Hammers have started to gain in confidence after losing their opening three games, conceding ten goals in the process. Last week has been a good one, with a win at home to Huddersfield and a draw at West Brom. Confidence is everything and with players of the class of Javier Hernandez up front and Pablo Zabaleta at the back, the Hammers have plenty of quality.
The return of big striker Andy Carroll has made more space for Hernandez and the speedy Mexican could be one to watch.
